THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FUNDAMENTALS OF INTEGRATION OF HIGHER SCHOOL

Abstract

The article identifies the theoretical and methodological foundations of integration of information and communication pedagogy in the space of higher education; the concept of “information and communication pedagogy” is defined as the basis of a quality educational process in the development of the information society; an attempt is made to explore the theoretical foundations of the process of information management in the field of education by studying the features of the concept of ”information“ as a set of external messages that are received, transformed or stored in the internal system. The author proposes an understanding of the structure and elements of information and communication pedagogy as a complex science.
The general nature of informatization of modern society reveals new challenges and gives rise to new trends in the development of pedagogical science. Recently, teachers’ attention has been drawn to the study of various problems related to the information approach to learning, education, school management, because there are powerful information processes of transmission, storage, use, transformation of information. And although the study of various aspects of the connection of information processes with teaching and education is just beginning, nevertheless, information pedagogy is formed as a new branch of pedagogical science that studies information processes in pedagogical phenomen.
Characterizing the information approach in pedagogy, we define the conceptual apparatus of information pedagogy. The concept of ”information“ is complex and multifaceted. Analysis of the above general scientific concept showed that with its help it was possible to find common ground in such different, at first glance, processes as cognition of the world by the human brain and adaptation of a living organism to changing living conditions. In this respect, the concept of ”information“ is similar to the concept of ”energy“, which allowed us to consider common views on many processes that previously seemed incompatible
